2In Interim Decision 2009 HRTO 1930 issued November 12, 2009 the Tribunal deferred proceeding with this Application pending the conclusion of ongoing grievance proceedings.

3On February 24, 2011 the Tribunal wrote to the applicant. She was asked to inform the Registrar in writing within 30 days of the date of the letter whether the grievance proceedings remained ongoing and, if possible, to indicate when they were expected to be completed. The letter went on to warn the applicant that failure to provide the requested information might result in the Tribunal dismissing the Application as abandoned.

4The applicant has not responded to the Tribunal’s February 24, 2011 letter. The Tribunal’s letter to the applicant has not been returned as undeliverable.

5In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application and the Application is dismissed.
